  • Lawsuit Claims Akon Owes Atlanta Contractor Over $50,000 [COURT DOCUMENTS]

    Feb, 22 2012 | Written by ATLien


    Akon is involved in a legal battle surrounding his huge Atlanta area mansion.

    [READ: Check Out Akon's Atlanta Home [PHOTOS]]

    The megastar, who’s real name is Aliaune B. Thiam, is being sued by a company claiming to have over $300,000 of work on the home, but Akon refuses to pay the final invoice… a measly $51,941!

    Details about Akon’s legal battle below…

    According to lawsuit filed in Georgia Superior Court, Akon is reportedly “up to his neck” in over $51,000 of construction bills owed to an Atlanta contracting company.

    Southern Electric Company, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Akon on January 30, 2012, claiming it completed over $344,000 of work on Akon’s mansion.

    Their invoices included electrical work, framing, and molding and Akon apparently still owes $51,941, which was billed on their final invoice.

    In the suit, the company claims they spoke with Akon’s mom last November, who was acting on his behalf, but they still never received the final payment.

    Southern Electric is now suing Akon for breach of contract for the amount allegedly owed, plus interest.

    Now you know and I know that Akon is ‘up to his neck’ in that Lady GaGa money, so unless he and or his 8 wives wife Tomeka Robinson-Thiam, who is also named in the lawsuit, managed to somehow spend all that dough, I’m thinking this lawsuit may have more to do with him disputing the work that was done more so than the cash.  But what do I know… *shrug*

    I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in court…

      If the guy didn’t do what he was told properly I’m pretty sure akon would have said something I think he just doesn’t want to pay or thinks he shuldnt have to

      If an contractor did something that wasn’t up to par in my home, I wouldn’t pay them either. It a legal strategy I ain’t paying you, you take me to court and we’ll see if the judge agree to whether or not I should pay.
